Known Unknowns29 Jan 2023 17:19
I am taking a contrary view, given the history of slipped timescales, lack of transparency and a great deal of unknowns.
PG stated 4 - 6 weeks, in other words no definite date, currently, probably for good reason, but he has a history of not updating the market when things slip, so I am already expecting 8+ weeks, given the state of slippages, difficulty in locating items in the oil/gas industry.
Costs are 100,000 USD per day, again ask what PG did not say ?? Has there already been increased costs due the slowdown in drilling rate, to eventually we reached less than 1m per hour, there will be a cost implication.
Likewise Lab testing, rather than the mud engineer as everyone thought, myself included. Cost implication.
Talk of MOU - 3 (with no current cash to undertake this) seems to me rather premature, we need a positive result from MOU - 1, plus completion of MOU - 2.
I now always ask myself WHAT PG DID NOT DISCLOSE, agreed sometimes he cannot disclose, other times he chooses not to, I always think ‘trust the management’ is OK up to a point, but there has to be Accountability to balance out that approach.
You will all scream I am changing my mind, two faced, I eat children and I am trying to lower the SP.
The city will decide what is fair value, I am of the opinion a Placing is on the cards, why ? Because PG could have ruled out a Placing, until we know, I will assume a Placing is coming and 3p is inbound.
If I am wrong, fantastic.
I do not always agree with Charlottes intense negative position, but she is right to at least raise the specter of not everything is done correctly. The words Corporate Governance come to mind along with Communication and ‘grey ops’
PG might be proven to be a very good geologist- but history so far shows he has a lack of Duty of Care to us mere mortals, the long suffering SH.
Let us see what the next 4 weeks bring.
